Hello all,

I have a JavaScript variable that I echo out using PHP which is shown like this in the page source:

var db_1 = 'C:\this\path';

When I set the value of a text field with that variable like so:

$('#myinput').val(db_1);

The slashes have disappeared and only the other characters are left!

Why is this and how can I put the slashes back in??

Thanks all
